            <img src="/image/head-description.jpg" width="122" height="25" border="0" alt="Description">
            <p>Googlers Chris Schalk and Jason Cooper will give us a technical overview on the new Java development
                possibilities with OpenSocial. They start by providing an architectural overview of
                <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/shindig/">Apache Shindig</a>.
                Demonstrations will show how to use it as a local OpenSocial development server as well as how to
                customize it to plug into native social data. The talk will then shift from the server to the client
                and discuss the new <a href="http://code.google.com/p/opensocial-java-client/">OpenSocial Java Client Library</a>
                and how it allows for direct communication to an
                OpenSocial server with Java. Finally this talk will show the latest work on creating mobile
                applications with Android that can communicate with an OpenSocial server.
            </p>
